CRIME: Extremely Strange Case

Francis Riley told his schoolmates and somebody told Judge Kathryn
Sellers. Judge Sellers sent twp U. S. marshals to investigate. The
marshals went to the Riley home on Rhode Island Avenue, descended to
the basement. They opened the door of a windowless closet and there
found something that whimpered and blinked and ate food scraps from a
pan. It was the Riley's 12-year-old child. Edith, scarred and filthy.
Her case, broached to horrified Washington. D. C. two months ago, was
settled insofar as the law could settle it last week.
